Mark, depending on your age and fitness level, there may be some general things you can do in the gym to help with that but I don't think there's any quick fix. Multiball drills are the main way to develop that kind of efficiency. I don't know if that is an easy option where you're at. The Chinese players have been doing insane multiball drills (in terms of duration and intensity) since they were little kids, delivered by people who know what they are doing. Some coach once told me that it's only when you are getting totally exhausted during a multiball drill that your most efficient form comes out because you have no choice. Maybe some others have a faster method, but this seems like a big part of it.
